Jab-

I agree with you on gettiing rid of your television all together. I think the only thing that keeps me from getting rid of my TV, or more specifically cable service, is VH1 Classic. Yeah, I like watching CNN, etc. but I think I could probably do without it. I've thought that in the future (perhaps the very distant future) I would get rid of the TV in my kid's formative years, should I have any kids. There are way, WAY too many opportunities for kids to be watching TV these days. Not just programs, but DVDs and videos. I know of one family that has two toddlers and they have TONS of kid's movies on DVD, and it seems sometimes that that's ALL these kids do. Sorta drives me nuts when I actually see that.

On the original subject, I think if you can get people to consider an alternative to TV for a week, it may be silly for some, but it's not a bad idea.

Thanks for the offer on the New Wave Theater stuff. I would love to see that, but I got rid of my VHS player. I have become a DVD snob.
